Help: Tween array conflicting with background movie clip (.gif)

firstly, new (under 2 months) ooc programming. developing basic objective class space-shooter style flash game in as3, started out hobby, , progressing piece portfolio. contained 1 layer 6 key frames each stage in swf (loading screen, main menu, game, controls, etc.) friend encouraged me add background layer make more presentable.

 

that when ran current issue. completed following steps, in adding background:

 

new layer named background

drag below game layer in timeline

insert new symbol, make movieclip

import library

drag .gif bitmap onto layer

drag symbol onto background layer

 

the background layer shows behind of objects, buttons , symbols on every keyframe, when test swf, background black (the solid set game layer).

 

i tweeked script in first frame of game layer "noting out" tweenin(); , stop(); commands, , suprisingly background .gif appears, isn't animating through subsequent frames of .gif. if unnote stop();, same results. however, if unnote tweenin();, issue resumes , background layer invisible. not receiving errors or warnings in compiler errors or output.

 

these results of troubleshooting led me believe tweenin function isn't written correctly or doesn't play nicely other layers on frame. here current script. took liberty in noting every line, there isn't confusion in understanding logic.

 

 

                 private function tweenin() {                            // make tweens new array                            tweens = new array();                            // loop through on screen content                            (var i=0; i<numchildren; i++) {                                      // make reference current object                                      var ob = getchildat(i);                                      // make tween current object                                      var tw:tween = new tween(ob,                     // object tween                                                                                   "x",                                  // property tween                                                                                   regular.easeinout,                    // easing function use                                                                                   ob.x - stage.stagewidth*2,            // starting value                                                                                   ob.x,                                 // end value                                                                                   15+(i*30))                            // time take                                      // add tween list of tweens                                      tweens.push(tw);                            }                  }  

 

my friend said array, couldn't find way use tween without using array.

 

i appreciate offer expertice, opinion and/or words of encouragement.

 

thank you, kindly,

alex

it's more start , end tween parameters.

 

example, has x property=0, tween x=-stage.stagewidth*2 x=0.
